Rainbow Forest

The Petrified Forest National Park in Arizona is home of the Rainbow Forest Museum which houses the Rainbow Forest Store. There are exhibits of petrified wood, dinosaurs, early reptiles and an area for book sales. The facility even has a soda fountain/snack bar.

Rainbow Forest Museum can be found two miles to the north of the south entrance to the Petrified Forest National Park and is open all year long. It is nineteen miles to the South of Holbrook off of Hwy 180 offering a variety of services to visitors. The services provided include orientation, information and back country permits. There is also twenty minute movie called Timeless Impressions used for orientation shown every thirty minutes.

Other services at the facility include exhibits of fossils; a computer based virtual tour, access to trails and limit food services. There are restrooms available for public use. While the Petrified Forest National Park allows animals that are on leashes to be on the trails they may not enter the buildings. The exception to this rule is service animals; visitors are asked to clean up after their animals.

The Rainbow Forest Museum is just one reason to go to Arizona's Petrified Forest National Park.
